Death at Paradise Palms (The Retired Detectives Club Book 2)

Product Information

Deep Down Dead is the first novel in the Lori Anderson series. In this fun new story from a talented author, readers get introduced to the main character in this story, named Lori Anderson! An exclusive high-stakes poker game is arranged in the penthouse suite of one of the city’s tallest buildings, with Lori holding the cards in an agreed arrangement to hand over the pieces. But, as night falls and the game plays out, stakes rise and tempers flare.

This book sees Lori and JT head to the city of Chicago to do a job for FBI Special Agent Monroe but, as always, things don’t go to plan. Here’s the blurb… In the U.K. with the recent success of The Thursday Murder Club any book sent within a retired community is going to struggle by comparison. However, The Retired Detectives Club within Steph Broadribb’s novel doesn’t struggle due this alone, it fails fundamentally because of the Homestead’s reality which within the text alludes to being Stepford in nature and more in keeping with The Truman Show. Death at Paradise Palms by Steph Broadribb is an exceptionally entertaining read that is mostly cozy, yet a solid whodunit.

The Retired Detectives Club Series in Order (3 Books)

I liked the premise of 'Death In The Sunshine'. I was hoping for an American twist on Richard Osman's 'The Thursday Murder Club'. In terms of the situation, there are a lot of similarities but the way the story is written is quite different.

Das ist jetzt für mich der zweite Fall, bei denen ich die „retired detectives“ begleite, und ich hatte mich hierauf schon sehr gefreut. Gleich vorab: Hat wieder Spaß gemacht, dabei zu sein! I’m thrilled to announce that book four in the Lori Anderson thriller series – Deep Dark Night – is published in ebook now!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Steph Broadribb is an English author of fiction. She first became a published author with the release of her first novel, which is titled Deep Down Dead. With our British friends, however, things have happened to push these problems from hanging over their heads to being front-and-center in their minds. Normally this would be good, they're working on the issues, dealing with the issues. However, when this club is the only one working on this kidnapping—the only outsiders aware of it—dealing with personal stuff becomes a distraction. Potentially a fatal one. Along with other crime fiction authors, she provides coaching for new crime writers via www.crimefictioncoach.com.

Ich habe letztes Jahr mein erstes Buch von Ms Broadribb gelesen, und das habe ich als ziemlich cool in Erinnerung – die Autorin ist nicht nur als Queen of Crime bekannt, hat einige Preise eingeheimst, sondern sie hat auch selbst schon mal als Kopfgeldjägerin gearbeitet - sie weiss also, wovon sie schreibt, wenn sie Krimis schreibt 😉! This book is an all round easy read that is reminiscent of Death In Paradise, Murder She Wrote or Columbo – all of which I love by the way. I’m looking forward to a book three. A great escape that doesn’t take itself too seriously and isn’t too dark. Well 2021 has been a strange kind of year hasn’t it?! As the end of the year approaches I like to reflect on what’s happened over the past twelve months and start to plan for the new year. This is a pretty good follow up to the first book. Lizzie really irritated me in this one, her reaction to Phillip’s “lie” was so over the to it was juvenile. That she would even refuse to consider counseling with him to try and overcome their issues was 🙄🙄🙄. Phillip surprised me, he started maturing in this book, realizing how much Lizzie hurt, but also opening up and considering counseling without her to deal with his loss.Aber auch Moira hat eine Vergangenheit, die sie immer wieder einholt. Wer die Serie schon etwas länger verfolgt, weiß, dass sie, die ehemaliger Londoner Polizistin, in Florida in ihrem mehr oder weniger selbstgewähltem und selbstgestaltetem Zeugenschutzprogramm lebt, und auch Moira wird erneut mit alten Geschichten konfrontiert. Ebenfalls eine sehr interessante Sidestory, mit einem fiesen Cliffhanger – jetzt will ich natürlich wissen, wie es mit Moira weitergeht und muss aufs nächste Buch warten.
